by John Hanson
Last Friday President Karl A.
Olsson announced the official plans
for the building of the $1,800,000
science-learning center on the east
campus. The announcement was
made before a group of Chicago
business and professional leaders
at a luncheon of the Chicago Com-mittee
in the Chicago Club.
The new science-learning center
will alleviate the presently over-crowded
facilities, and will take
care of the classroom requirements
until 1975, permitting the College
to accommodate 1,800 to 2,000 stu-dents.
The present enrollment of
the College is 1,085 but enrollment
projections for the next decade in-dicate
that the College may well
have to add 100 students per year
to meet the demand for college edu-cation
in the growing population.
Plans drawn by Chicago architect
Daniel C. Bryant call for a teaching
and learning facility composed of
three connected buildings: a
ground-floor science facility for
chemistry and biology, a seven-

Program for Gospel Teams
North Parkers will soon enter an-other
avenue of service via the gos-pel
team program. Four teams will
visit approximately 15 churches
with a threefold purpose in mind:
to assist churches by providing
,nique and inspiring programs, to
acquaint the churches with North
Park and the opportunities it offers
and to enrich the experience of the
participants.
After a short briefing program
headed by Elmer Oat, acting chap-lain
of the College, along with Ken
Dahlstrom, Ann Ellen Haglund and
Carl Yngve of the College Choir,
the teams will, in essence, be pre-pared
to present hour-long pro-trams
consisting of solo and ensem-ble
vocal arrangements and, hope-fully,
instrumental numbers, de-pending
on the versatility of the
team members. Speakers from the
College and Seminary faculty or
Seminary students may occasion-
Eleven Man Team
To Advise on NP

Beginning now in October and
running through Nov. 15, Covenant
,hurches and nearby high schools
,icross the United States will be
hearing and having the opportunity
to ask about North Park.
90 City Tour
A team of 11 men from the cam-pus
will answer questions and meet
with counselors and students in all
of the major Covenant areas. The
tour will cover 90 cities in 19 states,
plus the Chicago area. This is the
first year that this type of project
ilas been undertaken by the Col-lege.
Included on the team are Car-roll
Peterson, Reynold Vann, Timo-thy
Johnson, Melvin Soderstrom,
Wayne Balch, Paul Larson, Ralph

Alumni Will Help
In a joint endeavor, 29 alumni
will represent North Park's admis-
-ions office in their various areas.
Their duties will be to present in-formation
about North Park and to
be available for consultation by in-terested
students. Homecoming
Weekend will be used as a training
period for the alumni, and they will
have a chance to get re-acquainted
with the campus. The alumni will

Preference Polled
In Mock Election
President Lyndon Johnson will
face Senator Barry Goldwater in a
mock campaign and election here
the latter part of next week. The
pre-election contest will begin on
Wednesday with a debate between
student representatives of the two
candidates in the College Chapel.
Starting at 8 p.m., the debate prom-ises
to feature demonstrations by
the opposing sides as well as a

Homecoming Weekend Here
by Barb Mitchell
Tonight at 8 the 1964 Homecom-ing
Queen and her two attendants
will be crowned at the Royal Rally
in the gym. Co-chairman Chris
Johnson and Tim Ek have planned
a regal tribute to our Queen with
Mr. Mel Soderstrom acting as mas-ter
of ceremonies. After the Queen
and her court have been announced
they will choose the beard king.
Last year's queen Linda Bothun
will end her reign as queen by
crowning her successor.
Snake Dance
After the ceremony in the gym,
a pep rally will be held at the ath-letic
field. The snake dance will
begin from the gym and wind down
Foster to the field where the rally
will be held around the bonfire.
The queen and her attendants
will receive North Park students
after the rally at the Royal Recep-tion
in the Chapel. After a short
program, refreshments will be
served.
Lettermen's Breakfast
Saturday morning the Letter-men's
Club will entertain visiting
men at breakfast in Sohlberg Com-mons.
The donation is $1.26 per
person. Head football Coach Pat
Rooney will be the speaker accord-ing
to Pete Pearson, president of
the club.
The highlight of the weekend will
be the North Park Viking's game
against the North Central Cardi-nals
at the athletic field at 1:30.
Paul Backlund has planned the
half-time activities during which
the float awards will be made.
'ries 'n Heels"
Saturday evening at 8:30 the
"Ties 'N Heels" program will be-gin
in the Gym. The Queen, court
and the Beard King will be honored
before the program with a musical
tribute and during the program
they will be presented with foot-balls.
Ted Nordlund, captain of
the team, will present the queen's
ball and senior senior team mem-bers,
George Amundsen and Tom
Formeller will give the attendants
their souvenir footballs.
Sunday morning there will be a
special chapel service at 10 a.m. in
the College Chapel.

$100,000 Is
story classroom tower for physics
and academic subjects and a 408-
seat lecture hall with open stage
for dramatics.
The first of the three units will
house laboratories, offices and some
mechanical equipment, and will be
built largely below ground level
where it will tie in with the adja-cent
gymnasium-auditorium. The
top of this laboratory unit will
form a plaza above which will rise
the second unit — a tower of seven
floors. The first six will house a
small lecture ball, more labs, the
language facilities, art studios and
offices. The third unit will be a
multi-purpose lecture hall with 408
seats, an open stage for dramatic
performances and concerts, a work-shop
and dressing rooms.
Since this science-learning center
will be located on the edge of the
river, it is planned that a long walk
along the river connect the center
with Spaulding Avenue to allow
foot traffic between the residence
halls and the new building.
For the first time in its 75-year
history, the College is going to the
community for capital support for
the building project. The Evangeli-cal
Covenant Church of America is
committed to a financial campaign
this fall to raise $1,300,000 and the
College is turning to the Chicago
community for the remaining $500,-
000. Target date for the cornple-tion
of the building is the fall of
1965.

l'ark president; John Mulder, chairman.
by Bob Olsen
At the luncheon last Friday of
the Chicago Committee for North
l'ark College, three anonymous sup-porters
of the College opened the
committee's current campaign to
raise $500,000 toward the College's
building program by contributing
$100,000. The committee is com-posed
of 24 Chicago business lead-ers
with Hugo A. Anderson, retired
vice president of the First National
Bank of Chicago, as honorary
chairman, and John Mulder, Chi-cago
attorney, as chairman of the
committee.
While the committee's long-range
goal is informing the Chicago com-munity
about North Park College,
it has set itself the immediate goal
of leading a campaign to raise
$500,000 toward the cost of the Col-lege's
proposed $1,800,000 science-learning
center.
Members of the committee -are
professional and business leaders
who have had some association with
North Park and have been actively
involved in its support as alumni,
parents or contributors.

What Price Maturity?
"The majority of student newspapers in the United States are not
free. There have been repeated instances of prior censorship and arbi-trary
suppression. Student editors have been subjected to subtle and
overt pressures ranging from harassment to disciplinary action for print-ing
both news and editorial comment considered 'not in the best interests
of the university.'" (From a resolution of USSPA'S Committee on Free-dom
and Responsibility of the Student Press.)
In a sense, any attempt to involve our newspaper and the campus
community in the controversies related and implied in the problem of
freedom of student press is presumptuous. In recent years, there have
been small incidents of controversy, but no editor has dared or has been
allowed to place himself in the position where subtle and overt pressures
would become a weekly thing. The leaders in the push for freedom of the
press are the student editors of some of the nation's largest universities.
These editors are usually highly competent journalism majors who put out
daily papers which cover vast areas in their content scope.
Since the student population of the campus is approximately 1.000
and the school has no journalism major, there is relatively little com-petition
for the editorship. This means that people of limited technical
ability and experience sometimes ascend to positions of leadership on
the paper. If we remain seeped in this humility, perhaps our campus
paper should merely strive to print the news accurately and literately,
and to provide a forum for the free exchange of opinion. This term
"free exxchange" becomes a hopelessly un-attainable ideal if the
people who supply the editorial verbiage are severely limited in their
subject content.
As an example, an article from the Collegiate Press Service came
across the desk last week telling of a Canadian college chaplain who ex-pressed
views similar to those for which Illinois professor Leo Koch was
fired. This story had immense news interest especially for Illinois resi-dents
who remember the story of Koch at the University of Illinois.
We didn't run the article in anticipation that we would have prob-lems
even getting it into print. This decision is called mature and respon-sible
journalism, despite the fact that the article does have relevance in
our community at least as far as academic freedom is concerned. Ac-cording
to some, North Park College is unique in that academic freedom
and the Christian faith are neatly blended into a working unity. What
would happen to this blend if some faculty member decided to take the
same stand as the Canadian college chaplain?
But wait! Draw back! We as students must be responsible. We
do not own the newspaper. It is sponsored and represents this col-lege
to the world even if the italicized print on the masthead reads,
"signed articles indicate the opinions of their authors and do not neces-sarily
reflect the opinions of the newspaper or of North Park College."
We as students are only transient employees. The college must have
the last word whether the precocious student accepts it or not.
Once again the problem is not local. The dichotomy between verbal-ized
thought and action is omnipresent in every area of society. Public
opinion polls have been conducted where the individuals are asked whether
they believe in free speech and the answer runs 97 per cent in the affirma-tive.
But ask this same group whether they would allow an atheist to
speak in their community and the affirmative answer drops to less than
50 per cent. We as mature, responsible journalists must reflect this un-healthy
dichotomous aspect of our society by supressing our more "ques-tionable"
ideas.
J. H
Student Government: A Game?
North l'ark students, do we really care? Are we going to typify the
growing trends in our society? Is it true that we really "don't give a
darn?" Our generation has been called just this; the "don't give a darn"
generation along with other trite adjectives such as "hot-rod," "beat" and
"surfer." These all seem to be just ways to excuse ourselves from our
basic tasks in life.
But why do these prevalent attitudes seem to permeate life on a
college campus? Are we here because we really care about an educa-tion
or did Mommy and Daddy decide that we would be a failure with-out
a college education. So here we are spending three hours of the
day in a classroom being educated. If these three hours mean an edu-cation
then we may consider ourselves educated persons. Perish the
thought.
There is much more to a true education than what can be learned
from any written text. This is one of the prime reasons for the establish-ment
of a college campus. The campus is here to give one an opportunity
to live with and learn through the many experiences outside the classroom.
The effect of these experiences coupled with the knowledge achieved in the
classroom can be the only barometer of a college education. If the ap-parent
lack of interest in the student government on the North Park Col-lege
campus is any indication of a general lack of interest in our college
community then there must be a great number of uneducated college
graduates.
Are there really that many students on this campus who are totally
unaware of a functioning student government. On this campus we
have what is known as the North l'ark College Student Association.
This, by the way, for those of us who are totally unaware, is not a
group which meets once a week and plays a game called "parliamentary
procedure." This is a group of elected and appointed students who
have control over many athletic, social, academic and religious func-tions
on this campus. The student publications and the radio station
are also directly responsible to NPCSA.
It seems that there is very little which can happen on this campus
without its having at one time or another come through one of the
branches of our student government. If the affairs outside of the college
classroom are an important facet of one's education it seems then that any
student interested in his education should also he interested in the affairs
of his student government.
Students on this campus can show a greater interest in these very
important affairs by attending Senate Session every Thursday evening in
Sohlberg Commons. The Senate will also be holding informal sessions in
the various lounges where students may come and voice their opinions.
North l'ark students, do we really care? The Editorial Hoard
Dear Editors:
Mr. Bruns' ridiculous reply to Mr.
Peterson's equally ridiculous letter
seems to point up a very interesting
problem that has confronted Sena-tor
Goldwater in his bid for the
Presidency. That is the problem of
a staunch group of misinformed
conservatives on one hand opposed
by an equally staunch group of
equally mislead radicals on the
other hand. Senator Goldwater and
the rest of the nation seem to be
left in between these warring fac-tions
who, because of their ignor-ance
of his position, are reduced to
the level of pure and vitriolic emo-tionalism.
No amount of seven syllable ti-rades
on Mr. Bruns' part or half-formed
four-letter words on Mr.
Peterson's part will solve the basic
problem of what, precisely, is
Senator Goldwater proposing in de-fense
against the liberal indiffer-ence
of Mr. Johnson. The only an-swer
to this problem of ignorance is
accurate and considered informa-tion.
Certainly, "In your heart
you know he's right," but one can-not
know, in heart or mind, without
unbiased representation of the
facts.
The country and the campus
needs a little less of the mild, pur-poseless
incompetence of, A North
Parker Looks at Lyndon, and a lit-tle
less of the outright mudslinging
of A reran Looks at Lyndon; we,
as a campus and as a nation need
information. Mr. Johnson may ac-tually
have something to say in de-fense
against the liberal indiffer-know
it. Senator Goldwater has
got something to say about his
policies. But we do not know it.
May I suggest that the College
Nest's refute its previous policy of
being an ineffectual house organ for
the Young Citizens for Johnson and
begin a little straightforward,
factual reporting of the basic issues
and the candidates' viewpoints. The
example might become so fashiona-ble
as to influence even the Holy
Sun-Times.

Dear Editors:
We would like to thank all those
who came to support our Vikings
at the Carroll-North Park game
last Saturday. We were proud of
their spirit throughout the entire
game.
Many Carroll fans commented on
the "good sportsmanship of the
North Park fans" and the Carroll
cheerleaders remarked on the large
crowd we had to back the team and
their good school spirit.
We were glad to see so many
North Parkers in the stands at an
away game who were willing to
support our team to the very end
of the game regardless of the out-come.

Dear Editors:
The letter appearing in last
week's News concerning the AEC
and efforts made in providing
transportation to the away games
leaves the members of the AEC
quite upset.
Those who wrote the letter ob-viously
did nothing about asking
the members of the AEC just what
had been done concerning this mat-ter.
Let me remind these strong
school supporters that this year
our closest away game was 100
miles away.
As far as having poor represen-tation
at our Millikin game, the dis-tance
to travel for such a game was
over 180 miles. I simply ask these
students if they would be willing
to pay more than $3 to travel to an
away game. The prices were se-cured
for hiring buses for away
games, and it was felt by the com-mission
that it was far too expen-sive
to ask the North Park students
to pay.
After the decision was made not
to hire buses for away games the
suggestion of car caravans was in-vestigated.
For the closest away
game --- Carroll — the names of 20
Vox Pop
students who could possibly drive
were secured. Out of those 20
only eight said that they would he
glad to drive. The others replied
that they were not sure they were
going. With this type of response
it is almost impossible to organize
a caravan to an away game.
I would like to state that a car
caravan is in the planning for our
last game of the season. This game
will be at Augustana some 200
miles southwest of us. Those who
are willing to drive, please contact
Paul Backlund, acting chairman of
the AEC.
Paul Backlund
Dear Editors:
Claim, if you must, that Presi-dent
Johnson is for progressive
government. Note, if you will, that
President Kennedy and President
Lincoln were the same caliber men.
But also note that Orwell's 1984
may be a result of this present
"progres:ive" government, and that
the administrative policies of integ-rity
of our Presidents past are in-adequate
today.
Take a long look (indeed one has
to) at the economic growth of the
tentacles of our present bureau-cracy
and the unexcelled prosperity
of the local Democratic machine.
But if you insist on drowning
yourself in a puddle of name call-ing,
when you have an entire ocean
at your disposal, may you sink in
peace.
Dan Shutters
Dear Editors:
As an adult, non-Covenant mar-ried
student I, perhaps, have no
business becoming involved in the
political debate currently in vogue
at North Park College, and I fully
realize that any effort by a mi-nority
faction to justify himself in
writing will be dissected by the
English majors, philosophy majors
and campus politicians and then
tossed to ihe remainder of the stu-dent
body as an object of ridicule.
Therefore, let it be stated at once
that I do not consider myself a
journalist, much less a very compe-tent
writer. I am not attempting
to coerce anyone and would prefer
to stay out of the limelight. In
fact, my concern is not with your
politics but with your attitude.
A college should encourage and
demand free exchange of ideas
within the student body as well as
from the faculty. It should not
breed bigots or opportunists but
rather nurture scholars and schol-arship.
A neophyte freshman, without
the benefit of even an English
composition course, should be en-couraged
by upperclassmen to write
his views sanely, clearly and ac-cording
to the rules of the language
even if they believe him to be mis-guided
and, especially when they
know how they will depredate his
remarks. How many upperclass-men
enjoy rereading their first
compositions, much less offer them
for publication? This is not the
dog-eat-dog political arena; it is a
college campus.
I believe many students and per-haps
even faculty members have
fought and are still fighting for the
freedom to disagree or at least to
discuss th:v. problem of religious
conformity.
Are we forcing religious con-formity
on the student body while
discouraging political dissent? Are
these the same students who corn-plain
about professors who re-buff
divergent ideas with disdain
and a low grade, and classmates
who rebuff divergent views with
disparagement and a social snub?
The question of whether smoking
or dancing should be allowed on
campus seems to me a very minor
question compared to the problem
of democracy versus socialism.
There are many colleges and uni-versities;
there is only one United
States.
Intelligent discussion seems to
be the most reasonable way to dis-covery
of a solution, not ridicule,
pseudo-intellectualism, coercion or
unquestioning acceptance.
Pauline Pate
Dear Editors:
It is one thing to be intemperate
in your editorial judgments on the
1964 Presidential election campaign.
It is quite another to be deliberately
untruthful.
A simple check of the records
would reveal to your temporary edi-torial
writer of Oct. 16, that far
from "sitting in the back like a
spoiled brat screaming no! no! no!"
Senator Barry Goldwater sup-ported
and voted for the civil rights
acts both of 1957 and 1960.
Milton E. Nelson
Ed. Note:
Mr. Cedarleaf regrets that he
failed to distinguish between Gold-water's
position an foreign aid and
civil rights. We made the "sim-ple
check of the records" and found
you to be correct with respect to
the 1957 bill but the Senator was
not present to rote in the case of
the 1960 bill.
R. J.
Dear Editors:
Subsequent to last week's College
News, much talk has circulated to
the effect that the newspaper is
"partisan," "doesn't discuss the.
facts" and "ignores the issues." As
head of the campus Young Citizens
for Johnson, much of this talk has
reached me and has prompted a few
questions.
The ill-advised judgment of par-tisanship
indicates a lack of under-standing
of the word. The News
has not taken a stand, as far as
can be determined, on any election
but the national ticket. Calling
this partisanship would be equiva-lent
to labelling all members of the
Citizens for Johnson, many of
whom are normally Republicans, as
out-and-out Democrats. Is this
justifiable?
The other two charges art.
equally erroneous. Who among us
would deny that the following facts
are issues, irrespective of his par-ticular
views: (1) Eight bills deal-ing
with education (The College
News, Oct. 2) and directly affect-ing
many of our students; (2)
Views on the United Nations (The
College News, Oct. 9); (8) The
Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Ibid.)?
Are these thought to be of no con-sequence
in the present campaign?
Those of us supporting President
Johnson kno-•• where we stand and
have organized that others may

Students Care Enough To Give
Help at "Inner City" Churches
by John l'hilipp
last week 32 North Park stu-dents
cared.
They cared enough to give some
of their time to help children
learn. They left the little world
that is North Park College for the
larger world of the city which sur-rounds
us. In this case it was to
two "Inner City" churches they
went. There they met some chil-dren
who needed help — help in
reading, arithmetic or just plain
studying.
All this is commonly called a
-Tutoring Project." North Park
hrovides tutors to Wicker Park
Lutheran Church and Douglas Park
Covenant Church. Students drive
school cars to the projects which
are held in the afternoon right af-ter
the schools close. What really
goes on at one of these projects?
Wicker Park
At the Wicker Park Study Cen-ter,
children come to the large
church basement to sit at one of
the tables and do their home-
)irk; they come to get help in a
particular subject; or they may
come in just to browse in the well-upplied
library. If a child is be-hind
in reading, for example, the
iutor might use one of the reading
cards or vocabulary-building cards
available. If the child has his own
book, a tutor would merely follow
along as he reads aloud, making
corrections or giving advice when
needed. These are some of the
things that North Park students
did last week.
Most of the tutors have commit-ted
themselves to one day a week
for this term. The people who di-rect
the projects stress the impor-tance
of having tutors come regu-larly.
But more important, the
kids now expect "their" tutors to
come back. Most of them will go
regularly because they discovered
that they also le3rn something. If
you asked them what, you would
probably get a different answer
from each one.
Student Reaction
Some have said it was exciting;
others, boring. One freshman en-thusiastically
described how he
used a special circular vocabulary
card to help a little boy understand
what he was reading. A junior
said she was absorbed with helping
a sixth grader with his new math.
One girl wondered if she really did
any good in just one session. All
of them went down and saw for
themselves.
The challenge is great. Tutors
are still needed, especially on Tues-day
and Thursday when both proj-ects
operate. The Social Services
Commission of the Student As-sociation
maintains a co-ordination
center in the Placement Office (sec-ond
floor, Cedar House). If you are
Interested, please go there and
specify what day you can make it.
Vox Pop
(Continued from Page 2)
know why we stand there. It is
strange that those supporting Sena-tor
Goldwater have not seen fit to
officially proclaim their support, if
not through their official partisan
organization, then through a non-partisan
group such as ours. Why
have they not, as of this date, or-emnized,
as is the prerogative of
my student group interested in
political concerns? Are they fear-ful
that the inconsistencies between
the support many of them gave to
the Test Ban Treaty and the Civil
Rights Act of 1964 and their sup-port
of Goldwater may be uncov-ered?
Are they afraid of questions?
It seems that it is easier to sit back
and ask others to discuss the is-sues.
Bruce A. Whisler
Dear Editors:
I would like to take this oppor-tunity
to thank the College News
for its rather vitriolic attacks upon
Senator Goldwater. I would like
to suggest, however, that instead
of merely attacking the Republican
presidential candidate, the College
WU'S attempt to analyze the whole
)f the political arena and to relate
the positions of both Senator Gold-water
and President Johnson to this
analysis.
While it is certainly the editors'
prerogative simply to castigate a
man with whom they disagree, it
would seem to me to be of more
value (especially in a field as vola-tie
as politics) to approach the
whole subject in a more objective
manner. Would it not be of more
value to explain in concrete terms
why you feel that Mr. Johnson's
voting record is superior to Mr.
Coldwater's. (Mr. Cedarleaf's "A
North Parker Looks at I.yndon"
was certainly inadequate here sim-ply
because it portrayed only the
side of Lyndon that can in any
sense be regarded as reputable.)
Lest I be misinterpreted, let me
point out that I do not quibble at
all with your right to propagandize
on behalf of any candidate nor am
I implying that your views are not
responsible. I am only suggesting
(1) that you point out some of your
own presuppositions and (2) that
you do not allow yourselves to be-come
nothing but partisan critics.

S.A. To Investigate
Food on Campus
by Mark Ahlstedt
Last Thursday evening the Sen-ate
passed a bill introduced by Ray
Leafgren establishing a committee
to investigate the food services
here on campus. The main purpose
of this committee will be to inves-tigate
the complaints of students
regarding the food services.
Leafgren noted in his explana-tion
that the dining hall is making
money which may go to defray ex-penses
in other departments of the
institution. These, in turn, benefit
the off-campus students who do not
pay for the food services. Leaf-gren
asked that the possibility of
using these excess funds either to
increase the quality or quantity of
food served to students be investi-gated.
The Senate broke into a commit-tee
of the whole to discuss further
the possibility of having open Sen-ate
sessions. These sessions will
enable the student body to express
their opinions on many of the prob-lems
on the North Park campus.
These sessions will be held in one
of the lounges; the student body
will be notified in advance as to
time and place.
In other Senate action SSC chair-man
John Philipp stressed the need
for more tutors due to the enlarge-ment
of North Park's tutoring pro-gram
into the Ulich Children's
Home at Addison and California.
President Benson also announced
the appointments of Tom Carlson
and Vicki Rubin as co-chairmen of
the committee to arrange the com-ing
of the Mandrel] Singers on
Nov. 28.

by Jeanine Cedarleaf
Variety best describes the teach-ing
experience of Mr. l'hilip Liljen-gren
who has now spent 25 years at
North Park College. Since 1939
when he began teaching at the
Academ y, Mr. Liljengren has
taught journalism, speech and Eng-lish
and at one time coached the
tennis team.
Being a "preacher's kid" Mr.
Liljengren can claim several states
as his "home state." However, he
finds his strongest ties and memo-ries
in Astabula, Ohio, where he
lived during his high school years.
In 1928 he entered North Park Col-lege
and graduated in 1930. He
earned his bachelor's degree from
Northwestern University in 1932.
Mr. Liljengren then returned to his
home to teach and also to work on
his master of arts degree which
he received fnom Ohio State in
1940.
When the war began, Mr. Liljen-gren
entered a civilian public serv-ice
camp because of his stand as a
conscientious objector. He was used
as a guinea pig in an experiment
to determine how long soldiers
could go without food and water.
As a result of the starvation diet
he was reduced to a weak 90
pounds.
After the war Mr. Liljengren re-turned
to teach freshman English
at the College. Two years ago he
gave up teaching to work as di-rector
of public relations for
Swedish Covenant Hospital and di-rector
of press relations here at
the College. He is responsible for
giving both the College and the hos-pital
good publicity in the news-papers.
This task keeps him in con-tact
with about.30 Chicago news
papers.
Looking back on his 25 years at
NPC Mr. Liljengren commented
that the biggest change he has
noticed is the growth of NI' bath
in the number of students and in
the area of school buildings. He
stated that the school is no longer
centered around one building but
finds its activity in many parts of
the campus. "The expansion is
good," he said, "but we've become

endless winding snake which bursts
forth from the Gym, twisting and
turning on its way to the field.
Licking flames hungrily devour a
huge Cardinal in the bonfire. A
cheer rises up from the crowd, and
the noise becomes a continuous bat-tery
as the cheerleaders pull school
spirit out from every hiding place
on campus.

Faculty Focus
It was indeed an unfocused mo-ment
when I agreed to write "some-thing"
for this column, for it seems
to me that the assignment contains
a contradiction or at least an am-biguity.
Obviously the ideas or
opinions expressed are those of a
faculty member. They are so la-beled.
On the other hand, foot-notes
to a classroom lecture are not
wanted, nor a comment on the state
of North Park. But choosing a topic
outside of my specified competence
does not free me from the require-ments
of my role as a teacher and
social scientist. This is the diffi-culty.
Whatever I say cannot be
dissociated from the fact that what-ever
else I may be, I am here a
member of the faculty.
If I were to talk about my cats
(we have a rather strange and
strained menage a trout of them at
the moment), I would probably do
so in psuedo-psychological jargon

among us would writhe in embar-rassment
and anyone could see the
influence of social science on the

commented on the coming election,
inevitably what I said would be
taken not as just the opinion of a
citizen but as the opinion of a poli-tical
scientist. In short, whatever
I said in this forum would be both
written and read in relation to my
professional role.
In thus exemplifying some. of the

Verifications are obviously neces-sary
for the functioning of a com-plex,
multi-group society. But more
than that it is the multiplicity of
roles which each individual must
play which makes possible individ-ual
freedom and individual develop-ment.
The variety of roles availa-ble
to individuals gives them a free-dom
of choice and an opportunity
to develop many facets of their po-tential.
Further, moving from one
role to another, not only in the
course of one's life but in the course
of each day, requires a kind of con-stant
interaction within oneself
and maintains a tension which
stimulates both intellectual and
moral growth. And such growth
brings new vitality and dimension
to each role played and to each
group acted in.
In other words, I do not think
playing the role of a faculty mem-ber
puts me in a rut and condenses
me to speaking the same lines year

that I must play the same role

NSA Calls for Freedom Fast
To Help Indigent Negroes
PHILADELPHIA (CPS) — The
United States National Student As-sociation
(USNSA ) is asking the
nation's collega students to skip one
meal next month in order to send
food to indigent Negroes in the
South.
The program, called Thanksgiv-ing
Fast For Freedom, calls for
students with prepaid meal con-tracts
to abstain voluntarily from
one dinner meal Nov. 19, the money
being to buy food. Student govern-ments
at individual schools are be-ing
asked to direct the drive on
their campuses.
$10,250 Raised
Last year, an estimated 17,000
students at 42 schools participated
in the fast. Some $10,250 was raised
and used to purchase more than
80,000 pounds of food at wholesale
prices.
Distributed by COFO
The food, mostly preserved meat
and dried milk, was distributed to
600 families by the Council of Fed-erated
Organizations (COFO),
which directed this summer's voter
registration drive in Mississippi.
Each family received a one-week
supply.
Noted Endorsements
The program, directed by NSA,
is jointly sponsored by the United
States Youth Council, NSA and the
Northern Student Movement. It has
been endorsed by Roy Wilkins,
executed secretary of the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People; James Farmer, Na-tional
Director of CORE, and John
Lewis of the Student Non-Violent
Co-ordinating Committee. It has
also been endorsed by Nobel Peace
Prize winner Martin Luther King.
Food to Mississippi
Last year food was shipped to
families in six Mississippi towns.
The fast's sponsors hope to expand
the program. Plans presently call
for shipping part of the food to the
McComb area, where a number of
Negro churches and businesses
were destroyed recently during a
p iriod of racial unrest.

MOC 1, Albert-Carmen Roll On;
Unbeaten in IM Competition
by Doug l'alm
Ire-season favorites, MOC 1 and Albert Carmen, continued unde-aated
in the face of all opposition (through Oct. 16), although both
,oked shaky on occasions.
MOC 1, the cream of the off-campus crop of "pros," rolled past two

record to 4-0. They overwhelmed
3 South, 38-13, and then employed
a fired-up defense" to down 2 South,
13-2. In this contest, MOC yielded
only two first downs, while their
offense moved sluggishly for two
scores. In Bruce Johnson and Rich
Blohm MOC has two of the league's
best receivers.
Turning into a defensive team,
Albert-Carmen added three wins to
their opening walk-away. MOC 4,
2 North and MOC 2 all succumbed
to the defending titlists, although
each margin of victory was nar-rower.
This in part can be attrib-uted
to the absence of Ted Hedin,
who really makes this aggregation
go. The big difference up front is
Clark Lindberg who anchors the
line both on offense and defense.
2 South (3-1) and 3 South (2-1)
are among the top contenders.
Hustle and determination are the
chief ingredients behind 2 South's
success, as they lack any real size
or speed. They rely primarily on

Political Books Disputed
lioULDElt,Colo. (CPS) — Two
conservative student political or-ganizations
at the University of
Colorado were first denied and then
granted the right to sell political
information at a booth in the stu-dent
union.
Misunderstanding
The college's Dean of Men and
student union director said it was
a "misunderstanding" that had ori-ginally
led to a university official
stopping the school's Young Repub-lican
Club and Young Americans
for Freedom (YAF) chapter from
selling copies of None Dare Call
It Treason, and A Texan Looks at
Lyndon.
Bi-Partisanship
The sale on the books had origin-ally
been blocked on the grounds
that they were non-university pub-lications.
The Dean said, however,
that university-affiliated or spon-sored
groups would be permitted to
sell materials in the student union
if they got the approval of the
building's management, and pro-vided
the materials sold are related
to the program purposes of the
group. The president of the col-lege's
Young Republican Club said
he felt the sale of the materials was
within "the scope of the educational
aims of the university." The two
groups also offered their customers
a socialist newspaper, New Amer-ica,
to provide readers with both
sides.
Last year, members of the Young
Socialist Alliance. (YSA) were pre-vented
from selling copies of
Young Socialist and The Militant
on the campus on grounds that the
YSA was not a recognized student
group.
Party Features
Pizza and Cliff
by Mark Ahlstedt
Burgh Hall held its annual pizza
party and open house on Friday
night, Oct. 9. However old this
annual tradition may be, the faces
in the program were new to the
North Park campus as all the per-formers
were either transfer stu-dents
or freshmen.
The master of ceremonies was a
freshman comedian from Mankato,
Minn., Cliff Langness. Highlight-ing
the first half of the program
were two folksinging freshmen,
Linda Guinand and Pat Bateman.
The finale was a versatile quintet
named "Steve Berg and the
Burg Hall Ham-burg-era." This
talented group, made up of guitar-ists,
vocalists, comics and bongo
artists, included freshmen Steve
Berg, Terry Filebark and Ernie
Legasse; transfer student Rick
Swanson and foreign student Rick-ard
Bergstrom from Sweden.
Following the party the men's
residence halls were opened for in-spection.
MMC Opens to
Music Majors
The Musica Majian Club is an
organization established specifically
for music majors and minors.
Its objectives according to Presi-dent
Richard Johnson are: "to of-fer
music majors and minors an op-portunity
to have a more meaning-ful
relationship with each other and
with music; to be a service organi-zation
to the music department of
North Park College; and to offer
to the campus and surrounding com-munity
musical programs that show
the quality of North Park's mu-sicians
both in and not in the Col-lege
music department."
In addition to presiding officer
Richard Johnson, MMC is led by
Vice-president Lawrence Olson,
Secretary Maureen Olson and
Treasurer Alan McGarrity. Mr.
Wayne H. Balch and Dr. Lee Burs-wok'
St•I'Ve as its sponsors.
Membership in the club is open to
those students planning to major or
minor in music. Although fresh-men
cannot become members until
the winter term, they are invited
to participate in all MMC activities.
Visitors are welcome at general
meetings.
"MMC," explains Richard John-son,
"is both a service organization
and a social club. It's officers and
sponsors hope to combine these two
phases so as to give them members
the chance to receive a certain edu-cational
experience that they would
otherwise be unable to obtain."

Vikings Lose to Carroll Baba Key Man
In NP Defense bj Doug Palm
The height of frustration may have been reached last Saturday when
the North Park College football team actually beat themselves. The 27-6
loss at the hands of the Carroll Pioneers was not as decisive as one might
surmise. Miscues coupled with some disheartening "bad breaks" offset
an otherwise fair Viking performance.
Fumble Leads to Score
The road to their downfall started moments after the opening kick-off.
On its second play from
scrimmage, North Park fumbled
and Carroll recovered on the Viking
47-yard line. The hosts — playing
before their homecoming fans,
wasted no time in lighting up the
scoreboard. With near-perfect
blocking from the left side of its
line, Carroll sprang loose right
halfback Mike Gattie. The 5'9" jun-ior
obliged his teammates' work by
galloping to paydirt. The conver-sion
attempt was wide, but the
scoring was not over yet.
Field Goal Fails
Late in the quarter North Park
attempted to complete a drive with
a field goal from 30 yards out and
to the left. The ball never got be-yond
the line of scrimmage as the
middle defensive wall of Carroll
crashed through to block Ralph
Nordstrom's kick. Here North
Park's failure to fall on the loose
ball proved costly. Carroll alertly
recovered and proceeded to score
early in the second quarter on a 41-
yard pass from southpaw quarter-back
Scott Meyer to end Bill San-der.
Sander was successful on his
second attempt.
The half ended with drives by
both teams falling short and Carroll
leading 13-0.
Drive Stymied
The .third quarter was scoreless,
although North Park should have
dented the Carroll defense but
failed at the one-foot line on three
tries. Two drives and a sweep at-tempt
were unsuccessful. The Vi-kings
probably played their best
ball of the afternoon during this 15-
minute span.
Moving consistently to the out-side
and through the air for vital
yardage, Carroll boosted their lead
to 20 as sub Dave Isabel) swept left
for 40 yards and Sander converted
for his eighth point of the after-noon.
Pass for TD
The hitherto contained Vikings
finally broke the "goosegg" by us-ing
their most productive scoring
weapon to date, the pass. The
Rockne-Doriatt invention was em-ployed
at the Carroll 48-yard line
on a third down situation. Half-back
Ray Berens worked himself
free on Z-pattern and Tom Formel-ler
hit him in the 30-yard line.
Berens put it in gear and North
Park had six points. The conver-sion
attempt was off to the right.
Carroll Completes Scoring
An onside kick failed, but so did
the resulting Carroll drive. North
Park attempted to score again but

two "bombs" were incomplete. The
scoring was completed with less
than three minutes remaining as
Isabell was given a helping hand
from Meyer on a yard drive play.
Sander added the PAT which
capped a productive day.
Although the outcome of the
game was obvious, the excitement
of this hard-hitting affair was far
fron, over. Tempers flared when
North Park anticipating the snap
from center buzzed through the line
of scrimmage on the conversion at-tempt.
A questionable call from
the officials left North Park stifled,
as well as a man short.
Three Suffer Injuries
The thinning squad was dealt a
further blow when freshman quar-terback
Don Johnson suffered a
broken collarbone late in the first
half as he was carrying out a fake.
Lou Ellis aggravated his left knee
again, as Ted Bertsch did the same
to his right shoulder.
Looking at the contest on paper,
Carroll beat North Park, but not
as the score suggests. Of their 280
yards total offense, Carroll gained
179 yards rushing for seven first
downs. The rest came via the air
way (6 out of 17 for 101 yards).
The Norsemen moved the ball for
205 yards, of which 163 yards were
the result of its passing game. In
this department they were 11 for
34. Berens rushed six times for 25
yards and a 4.1 average.
Six Star on Defense
Defensively Tim Thyreen led all
tacklers with 13 tackles as he
played a tough "inside game" from
his linebacker post. Perhaps the
key man again was Bob Boba who
had 12 tackles and seemed to be
everywhere on defense. Ralph
Nordstrom played a stalwart game
with eight credited tackles and one
recovered fumble (Cap Matthews
got the second one.)
Yet, the most satisfying result of
this frustrating afternoon, was the
play of two freshman linemen,
Dave Forstrom and Jack Anderson.
These two rookies made a fine
showing in their first real taste of
college competition. Playing mostly
defense they were hitting well and
staying with the play.
Reasons for Weaknesses
But, since this was not a winning
effort, there must be a reason for
the shortcomings of the Vikings.
Weaknesses to a running game out-side,
as well as to an air game,
proved the undoing defensively,
but all the fault is not there.
Again the offense could not come up
Bob Boba
A familiar sight last Saturday
was a white-shirted 68 making tac-kles
all over the field. In fact it
seemed as if this North Park de-fender
had radar hidden on his per-son.
Actually this is just part of
the alertness and usual aggressive-ness
that mark the play of Bob
Boba.
For his stellar performance Boba
was selected as Viking of the Week
against Carroll. The 6'0", 200-
pound linebacker was credited with
12 individual tackles and assisted
on numerous others. Bob, who came
to North Park from Chicago's
Weber High, appears to thrive on
hitting hard and often!
In looking at his over-all play so
far, Boba could well be "on his
way" to repeating as an all-CCI
choice at linebacker, which he
copped last year as a sophomore.
A special mention should be made
of his mother, who as far as the
Vikings are concerned, is the fan of
the year. Congratulations to a dy-namic
duo!
with the big play, but this means
the whole offense. The afternoon
of frustrations will remain until a
united attack and defense can be
mounted.

Homecoming Victory
With all the hubbub of Home-coming
preparations and festivities
consuming time, space and inter-ests,
tomorrow's football game, the
focal point of any Homecoming,
seems to have been overlooked.
The game, the fifth of the cur-rent
Viking campaign, will be a
must for North Park, as they seek
their first taste of victory. North
Central will be gunning to extend
their victory skein which they be-gan
last week (33-20 over Millikin.)
After an opening victory over
Olivet, the Cardinals of Naperville
ran into the old injury jinx which
has been the rage of the CCI.
Among the top casualties were
halfback Bob Walters, a real break-away
threat, and quarterback Mike
Vibral, who played but at half
speed. However, after last week's
impressive victory, optimism has
arisen and the Cardinals are be-ginning
to fly high.
Anticipating the return of Cap-tain
Ted Nordlund to action, North
Park hopes to plug up the gaping
hole left by Paul Heinze, lost to the
team due to personal circumstances.
Nordlund has been absent from the
Viking lineup since Concordia
(Sept. 26), although his ailment
never has been definitely pin-pointed.
Replacing Heinze at the
left tackle slot for the second week
will be rookie Bill Crosscup, the
6'2", 193-pounder from Nashua
N.H., who will be backed up by
junior Dave Trautman. Bill
Walker will continue at guard if
Nordlund is held out again.
The Vikings are overdo for a
solid performance, which means
consistency. Throughout the sea-son
so far, North Park has dis-played
the ability to move the ball
and contain the opponent, but never
for any sustained time. The visi-tors,
who prevailed last year (26-6)
and two years ago at the '62 Home-coming
(7-6) will not be leady to
play dead, now that they know they
can win. Their record at present
is 2-2-0.
Although both offenses have been
sporadic, look for a fairly free-scoring
game. Then again, you
never know what will happen. Look
at the Yankees.
This is the probable lineup for
the Vikings:
80 — Pete Pearson — RE
60— Bill Crosscup — RT
78— Ted Nordlund — RG
55 — Mike Watson — C
68— Bob Boba — LG
76 — Al Burns — LT

Announces Plans

for Science-Learning Center

Wril ITT; !CZ ...1111111111111111
by John Hanson
Last Friday President Karl A.
Olsson announced the official plans
for the building of the $1,800,000
science-learning center on the east
campus. The announcement was
made before a group of Chicago
business and professional leaders
at a luncheon of the Chicago Com-mittee
in the Chicago Club.
The new science-learning center
will alleviate the presently over-crowded
facilities, and will take
care of the classroom requirements
until 1975, permitting the College
to accommodate 1,800 to 2,000 stu-dents.
The present enrollment of
the College is 1,085 but enrollment
projections for the next decade in-dicate
that the College may well
have to add 100 students per year
to meet the demand for college edu-cation
in the growing population.
Plans drawn by Chicago architect
Daniel C. Bryant call for a teaching
and learning facility composed of
three connected buildings: a
ground-floor science facility for
chemistry and biology, a seven-

Program for Gospel Teams
North Parkers will soon enter an-other

visit approximately 15 churches
with a threefold purpose in mind:
to assist churches by providing

and to enrich the experience of the
participants.
After a short briefing program
headed by Elmer Oat, acting chap-lain
of the College, along with Ken

Carl Yngve of the College Choir,
the teams will, in essence, be pre-pared
to present hour-long pro-trams

$100,000 Is
story classroom tower for physics
and academic subjects and a 408-
seat lecture hall with open stage
for dramatics.
The first of the three units will
house laboratories, offices and some
mechanical equipment, and will be
built largely below ground level
where it will tie in with the adja-cent
gymnasium-auditorium. The
top of this laboratory unit will
form a plaza above which will rise
the second unit — a tower of seven
floors. The first six will house a
small lecture ball, more labs, the
language facilities, art studios and
offices. The third unit will be a
multi-purpose lecture hall with 408
seats, an open stage for dramatic
performances and concerts, a work-shop
and dressing rooms.
Since this science-learning center
will be located on the edge of the
river, it is planned that a long walk
along the river connect the center
with Spaulding Avenue to allow
foot traffic between the residence
halls and the new building.
For the first time in its 75-year
history, the College is going to the
community for capital support for
the building project. The Evangeli-cal
Covenant Church of America is
committed to a financial campaign
this fall to raise $1,300,000 and the
College is turning to the Chicago
community for the remaining $500,-
000. Target date for the cornple-tion
of the building is the fall of
1965.

At the luncheon last Friday of
the Chicago Committee for North

of the College opened the
committee's current campaign to
raise $500,000 toward the College's
building program by contributing
$100,000. The committee is com-posed
of 24 Chicago business lead-ers
with Hugo A. Anderson, retired
vice president of the First National
Bank of Chicago, as honorary
chairman, and John Mulder, Chi-cago
attorney, as chairman of the
committee.
While the committee's long-range
goal is informing the Chicago com-munity
about North Park College,
it has set itself the immediate goal
of leading a campaign to raise
$500,000 toward the cost of the Col-lege's
proposed $1,800,000 science-learning
center.
Members of the committee -are
professional and business leaders
who have had some association with
North Park and have been actively
involved in its support as alumni,

What Price Maturity?
"The majority of student newspapers in the United States are not
free. There have been repeated instances of prior censorship and arbi-trary
suppression. Student editors have been subjected to subtle and
overt pressures ranging from harassment to disciplinary action for print-ing
both news and editorial comment considered 'not in the best interests
of the university.'" (From a resolution of USSPA'S Committee on Free-dom
and Responsibility of the Student Press.)
In a sense, any attempt to involve our newspaper and the campus
community in the controversies related and implied in the problem of
freedom of student press is presumptuous. In recent years, there have
been small incidents of controversy, but no editor has dared or has been
allowed to place himself in the position where subtle and overt pressures
would become a weekly thing. The leaders in the push for freedom of the
press are the student editors of some of the nation's largest universities.
These editors are usually highly competent journalism majors who put out
daily papers which cover vast areas in their content scope.
Since the student population of the campus is approximately 1.000
and the school has no journalism major, there is relatively little com-petition
for the editorship. This means that people of limited technical
ability and experience sometimes ascend to positions of leadership on
the paper. If we remain seeped in this humility, perhaps our campus
paper should merely strive to print the news accurately and literately,
and to provide a forum for the free exchange of opinion. This term
"free exxchange" becomes a hopelessly un-attainable ideal if the
people who supply the editorial verbiage are severely limited in their
subject content.
As an example, an article from the Collegiate Press Service came
across the desk last week telling of a Canadian college chaplain who ex-pressed
views similar to those for which Illinois professor Leo Koch was
fired. This story had immense news interest especially for Illinois resi-dents
who remember the story of Koch at the University of Illinois.
We didn't run the article in anticipation that we would have prob-lems
even getting it into print. This decision is called mature and respon-sible
journalism, despite the fact that the article does have relevance in
our community at least as far as academic freedom is concerned. Ac-cording
to some, North Park College is unique in that academic freedom
and the Christian faith are neatly blended into a working unity. What
would happen to this blend if some faculty member decided to take the
same stand as the Canadian college chaplain?
But wait! Draw back! We as students must be responsible. We
do not own the newspaper. It is sponsored and represents this col-lege
to the world even if the italicized print on the masthead reads,
"signed articles indicate the opinions of their authors and do not neces-sarily
reflect the opinions of the newspaper or of North Park College."
We as students are only transient employees. The college must have
the last word whether the precocious student accepts it or not.
Once again the problem is not local. The dichotomy between verbal-ized
thought and action is omnipresent in every area of society. Public
opinion polls have been conducted where the individuals are asked whether
they believe in free speech and the answer runs 97 per cent in the affirma-tive.
But ask this same group whether they would allow an atheist to
speak in their community and the affirmative answer drops to less than
50 per cent. We as mature, responsible journalists must reflect this un-healthy
dichotomous aspect of our society by supressing our more "ques-tionable"
ideas.
J. H
Student Government: A Game?
North l'ark students, do we really care? Are we going to typify the
growing trends in our society? Is it true that we really "don't give a
darn?" Our generation has been called just this; the "don't give a darn"
generation along with other trite adjectives such as "hot-rod," "beat" and
"surfer." These all seem to be just ways to excuse ourselves from our
basic tasks in life.
But why do these prevalent attitudes seem to permeate life on a
college campus? Are we here because we really care about an educa-tion
or did Mommy and Daddy decide that we would be a failure with-out
a college education. So here we are spending three hours of the
day in a classroom being educated. If these three hours mean an edu-cation
then we may consider ourselves educated persons. Perish the
thought.
There is much more to a true education than what can be learned
from any written text. This is one of the prime reasons for the establish-ment
of a college campus. The campus is here to give one an opportunity
to live with and learn through the many experiences outside the classroom.
The effect of these experiences coupled with the knowledge achieved in the
classroom can be the only barometer of a college education. If the ap-parent
lack of interest in the student government on the North Park Col-lege
campus is any indication of a general lack of interest in our college
community then there must be a great number of uneducated college
graduates.
Are there really that many students on this campus who are totally
unaware of a functioning student government. On this campus we
have what is known as the North l'ark College Student Association.
This, by the way, for those of us who are totally unaware, is not a
group which meets once a week and plays a game called "parliamentary
procedure." This is a group of elected and appointed students who
have control over many athletic, social, academic and religious func-tions
on this campus. The student publications and the radio station
are also directly responsible to NPCSA.
It seems that there is very little which can happen on this campus
without its having at one time or another come through one of the
branches of our student government. If the affairs outside of the college
classroom are an important facet of one's education it seems then that any
student interested in his education should also he interested in the affairs
of his student government.
Students on this campus can show a greater interest in these very
important affairs by attending Senate Session every Thursday evening in
Sohlberg Commons. The Senate will also be holding informal sessions in
the various lounges where students may come and voice their opinions.
North l'ark students, do we really care? The Editorial Hoard
Dear Editors:
Mr. Bruns' ridiculous reply to Mr.
Peterson's equally ridiculous letter
seems to point up a very interesting
problem that has confronted Sena-tor
Goldwater in his bid for the
Presidency. That is the problem of
a staunch group of misinformed
conservatives on one hand opposed
by an equally staunch group of
equally mislead radicals on the
other hand. Senator Goldwater and
the rest of the nation seem to be
left in between these warring fac-tions
who, because of their ignor-ance
of his position, are reduced to
the level of pure and vitriolic emo-tionalism.
No amount of seven syllable ti-rades
on Mr. Bruns' part or half-formed
four-letter words on Mr.
Peterson's part will solve the basic
problem of what, precisely, is
Senator Goldwater proposing in de-fense
against the liberal indiffer-ence
of Mr. Johnson. The only an-swer
to this problem of ignorance is
accurate and considered informa-tion.
Certainly, "In your heart
you know he's right," but one can-not
know, in heart or mind, without
unbiased representation of the
facts.
The country and the campus
needs a little less of the mild, pur-poseless
incompetence of, A North
Parker Looks at Lyndon, and a lit-tle
less of the outright mudslinging
of A reran Looks at Lyndon; we,
as a campus and as a nation need
information. Mr. Johnson may ac-tually
have something to say in de-fense
against the liberal indiffer-know
it. Senator Goldwater has
got something to say about his
policies. But we do not know it.
May I suggest that the College
Nest's refute its previous policy of
being an ineffectual house organ for
the Young Citizens for Johnson and
begin a little straightforward,
factual reporting of the basic issues
and the candidates' viewpoints. The
example might become so fashiona-ble
as to influence even the Holy
Sun-Times.

Dear Editors:
We would like to thank all those
who came to support our Vikings
at the Carroll-North Park game
last Saturday. We were proud of
their spirit throughout the entire
game.
Many Carroll fans commented on
the "good sportsmanship of the
North Park fans" and the Carroll
cheerleaders remarked on the large
crowd we had to back the team and
their good school spirit.
We were glad to see so many
North Parkers in the stands at an
away game who were willing to
support our team to the very end
of the game regardless of the out-come.

Dear Editors:
The letter appearing in last
week's News concerning the AEC
and efforts made in providing
transportation to the away games
leaves the members of the AEC
quite upset.
Those who wrote the letter ob-viously
did nothing about asking
the members of the AEC just what
had been done concerning this mat-ter.
Let me remind these strong
school supporters that this year
our closest away game was 100
miles away.
As far as having poor represen-tation
at our Millikin game, the dis-tance
to travel for such a game was
over 180 miles. I simply ask these
students if they would be willing
to pay more than $3 to travel to an
away game. The prices were se-cured
for hiring buses for away
games, and it was felt by the com-mission
that it was far too expen-sive
to ask the North Park students
to pay.
After the decision was made not
to hire buses for away games the
suggestion of car caravans was in-vestigated.
For the closest away
game --- Carroll — the names of 20
Vox Pop
students who could possibly drive
were secured. Out of those 20
only eight said that they would he
glad to drive. The others replied
that they were not sure they were
going. With this type of response
it is almost impossible to organize
a caravan to an away game.
I would like to state that a car
caravan is in the planning for our
last game of the season. This game
will be at Augustana some 200
miles southwest of us. Those who
are willing to drive, please contact
Paul Backlund, acting chairman of
the AEC.

Dear Editors:
Claim, if you must, that Presi-dent
Johnson is for progressive
government. Note, if you will, that
President Kennedy and President
Lincoln were the same caliber men.
But also note that Orwell's 1984
may be a result of this present
"progres:ive" government, and that
the administrative policies of integ-rity
of our Presidents past are in-adequate
today.
Take a long look (indeed one has
to) at the economic growth of the
tentacles of our present bureau-cracy
and the unexcelled prosperity
of the local Democratic machine.
But if you insist on drowning
yourself in a puddle of name call-ing,
when you have an entire ocean
at your disposal, may you sink in
peace.
Dan Shutters
Dear Editors:
As an adult, non-Covenant mar-ried
student I, perhaps, have no
business becoming involved in the
political debate currently in vogue
at North Park College, and I fully
realize that any effort by a mi-nority
faction to justify himself in
writing will be dissected by the
English majors, philosophy majors
and campus politicians and then
tossed to ihe remainder of the stu-dent
body as an object of ridicule.
Therefore, let it be stated at once
that I do not consider myself a
journalist, much less a very compe-tent
writer. I am not attempting
to coerce anyone and would prefer
to stay out of the limelight. In
fact, my concern is not with your
politics but with your attitude.
A college should encourage and
demand free exchange of ideas
within the student body as well as
from the faculty. It should not
breed bigots or opportunists but
rather nurture scholars and schol-arship.
A neophyte freshman, without
the benefit of even an English
composition course, should be en-couraged
by upperclassmen to write
his views sanely, clearly and ac-cording
to the rules of the language
even if they believe him to be mis-guided
and, especially when they
know how they will depredate his
remarks. How many upperclass-men
enjoy rereading their first
compositions, much less offer them
for publication? This is not the
dog-eat-dog political arena; it is a
college campus.
I believe many students and per-haps
even faculty members have
fought and are still fighting for the
freedom to disagree or at least to
discuss th:v. problem of religious
conformity.
Are we forcing religious con-formity
on the student body while
discouraging political dissent? Are
these the same students who corn-plain
about professors who re-buff
divergent ideas with disdain
and a low grade, and classmates
who rebuff divergent views with
disparagement and a social snub?
The question of whether smoking
or dancing should be allowed on
campus seems to me a very minor
question compared to the problem
of democracy versus socialism.
There are many colleges and uni-versities;
there is only one United
States.
Intelligent discussion seems to
be the most reasonable way to dis-covery
of a solution, not ridicule,
pseudo-intellectualism, coercion or
unquestioning acceptance.
Pauline Pate
Dear Editors:
It is one thing to be intemperate
in your editorial judgments on the
1964 Presidential election campaign.
It is quite another to be deliberately
untruthful.
A simple check of the records
would reveal to your temporary edi-torial
writer of Oct. 16, that far
from "sitting in the back like a
spoiled brat screaming no! no! no!"
Senator Barry Goldwater sup-ported
and voted for the civil rights
acts both of 1957 and 1960.
Milton E. Nelson
Ed. Note:
Mr. Cedarleaf regrets that he
failed to distinguish between Gold-water's
position an foreign aid and
civil rights. We made the "sim-ple
check of the records" and found
you to be correct with respect to
the 1957 bill but the Senator was
not present to rote in the case of
the 1960 bill.
R. J.
Dear Editors:
Subsequent to last week's College
News, much talk has circulated to
the effect that the newspaper is
"partisan," "doesn't discuss the.
facts" and "ignores the issues." As
head of the campus Young Citizens
for Johnson, much of this talk has
reached me and has prompted a few
questions.
The ill-advised judgment of par-tisanship
indicates a lack of under-standing
of the word. The News
has not taken a stand, as far as
can be determined, on any election
but the national ticket. Calling
this partisanship would be equiva-lent
to labelling all members of the
Citizens for Johnson, many of
whom are normally Republicans, as
out-and-out Democrats. Is this
justifiable?
The other two charges art.
equally erroneous. Who among us
would deny that the following facts
are issues, irrespective of his par-ticular
views: (1) Eight bills deal-ing
with education (The College
News, Oct. 2) and directly affect-ing
many of our students; (2)
Views on the United Nations (The
College News, Oct. 9); (8) The
Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Ibid.)?
Are these thought to be of no con-sequence
in the present campaign?
Those of us supporting President
Johnson kno-•• where we stand and
have organized that others may

Students Care Enough To Give
Help at "Inner City" Churches
by John l'hilipp
last week 32 North Park stu-dents
cared.
They cared enough to give some
of their time to help children
learn. They left the little world
that is North Park College for the
larger world of the city which sur-rounds
us. In this case it was to
two "Inner City" churches they
went. There they met some chil-dren
who needed help — help in
reading, arithmetic or just plain
studying.
All this is commonly called a
-Tutoring Project." North Park
hrovides tutors to Wicker Park
Lutheran Church and Douglas Park
Covenant Church. Students drive
school cars to the projects which
are held in the afternoon right af-ter
the schools close. What really
goes on at one of these projects?
Wicker Park
At the Wicker Park Study Cen-ter,
children come to the large
church basement to sit at one of
the tables and do their home-
)irk; they come to get help in a
particular subject; or they may
come in just to browse in the well-upplied
library. If a child is be-hind
in reading, for example, the
iutor might use one of the reading
cards or vocabulary-building cards
available. If the child has his own
book, a tutor would merely follow
along as he reads aloud, making
corrections or giving advice when
needed. These are some of the
things that North Park students
did last week.
Most of the tutors have commit-ted
themselves to one day a week
for this term. The people who di-rect
the projects stress the impor-tance
of having tutors come regu-larly.
But more important, the
kids now expect "their" tutors to
come back. Most of them will go
regularly because they discovered
that they also le3rn something. If
you asked them what, you would
probably get a different answer
from each one.
Student Reaction
Some have said it was exciting;
others, boring. One freshman en-thusiastically
described how he
used a special circular vocabulary
card to help a little boy understand
what he was reading. A junior
said she was absorbed with helping
a sixth grader with his new math.
One girl wondered if she really did
any good in just one session. All
of them went down and saw for
themselves.
The challenge is great. Tutors
are still needed, especially on Tues-day
and Thursday when both proj-ects
operate. The Social Services
Commission of the Student As-sociation
maintains a co-ordination
center in the Placement Office (sec-ond
floor, Cedar House). If you are
Interested, please go there and
specify what day you can make it.

know why we stand there. It is
strange that those supporting Sena-tor
Goldwater have not seen fit to
officially proclaim their support, if
not through their official partisan
organization, then through a non-partisan
group such as ours. Why
have they not, as of this date, or-emnized,
as is the prerogative of
my student group interested in
political concerns? Are they fear-ful
that the inconsistencies between
the support many of them gave to
the Test Ban Treaty and the Civil
Rights Act of 1964 and their sup-port
of Goldwater may be uncov-ered?
Are they afraid of questions?
It seems that it is easier to sit back
and ask others to discuss the is-sues.
Bruce A. Whisler
Dear Editors:
I would like to take this oppor-tunity
to thank the College News
for its rather vitriolic attacks upon
Senator Goldwater. I would like
to suggest, however, that instead
of merely attacking the Republican
presidential candidate, the College
WU'S attempt to analyze the whole
)f the political arena and to relate
the positions of both Senator Gold-water
and President Johnson to this
analysis.
While it is certainly the editors'
prerogative simply to castigate a
man with whom they disagree, it
would seem to me to be of more
value (especially in a field as vola-tie
as politics) to approach the
whole subject in a more objective
manner. Would it not be of more
value to explain in concrete terms
why you feel that Mr. Johnson's
voting record is superior to Mr.
Coldwater's. (Mr. Cedarleaf's "A
North Parker Looks at I.yndon"
was certainly inadequate here sim-ply
because it portrayed only the
side of Lyndon that can in any
sense be regarded as reputable.)
Lest I be misinterpreted, let me
point out that I do not quibble at
all with your right to propagandize
on behalf of any candidate nor am
I implying that your views are not
responsible. I am only suggesting
(1) that you point out some of your
own presuppositions and (2) that
you do not allow yourselves to be-come
nothing but partisan critics.

S.A. To Investigate
Food on Campus
by Mark Ahlstedt
Last Thursday evening the Sen-ate
passed a bill introduced by Ray
Leafgren establishing a committee
to investigate the food services
here on campus. The main purpose
of this committee will be to inves-tigate
the complaints of students
regarding the food services.
Leafgren noted in his explana-tion
that the dining hall is making
money which may go to defray ex-penses
in other departments of the
institution. These, in turn, benefit
the off-campus students who do not
pay for the food services. Leaf-gren
asked that the possibility of
using these excess funds either to
increase the quality or quantity of
food served to students be investi-gated.
The Senate broke into a commit-tee
of the whole to discuss further
the possibility of having open Sen-ate
sessions. These sessions will
enable the student body to express
their opinions on many of the prob-lems
on the North Park campus.
These sessions will be held in one
of the lounges; the student body
will be notified in advance as to
time and place.
In other Senate action SSC chair-man
John Philipp stressed the need
for more tutors due to the enlarge-ment
of North Park's tutoring pro-gram
into the Ulich Children's
Home at Addison and California.
President Benson also announced
the appointments of Tom Carlson
and Vicki Rubin as co-chairmen of
the committee to arrange the com-ing
of the Mandrel] Singers on
Nov. 28.

l'ublic relations director Mr. Philip Liljengren relates 25 years of North
l'ark life to News feature writer Jeannine Cedarleaf.
by Jeanine Cedarleaf
Variety best describes the teach-ing
experience of Mr. l'hilip Liljen-gren
who has now spent 25 years at
North Park College. Since 1939
when he began teaching at the
Academ y, Mr. Liljengren has
taught journalism, speech and Eng-lish
and at one time coached the
tennis team.
Being a "preacher's kid" Mr.
Liljengren can claim several states
as his "home state." However, he
finds his strongest ties and memo-ries
in Astabula, Ohio, where he
lived during his high school years.
In 1928 he entered North Park Col-lege
and graduated in 1930. He
earned his bachelor's degree from
Northwestern University in 1932.
Mr. Liljengren then returned to his
home to teach and also to work on
his master of arts degree which
he received fnom Ohio State in
1940.
When the war began, Mr. Liljen-gren
entered a civilian public serv-ice
camp because of his stand as a
conscientious objector. He was used
as a guinea pig in an experiment
to determine how long soldiers
could go without food and water.
As a result of the starvation diet
he was reduced to a weak 90
pounds.
After the war Mr. Liljengren re-turned
to teach freshman English
at the College. Two years ago he
gave up teaching to work as di-rector
of public relations for
Swedish Covenant Hospital and di-rector
of press relations here at
the College. He is responsible for
giving both the College and the hos-pital
good publicity in the news-papers.
This task keeps him in con-tact
with about.30 Chicago news
papers.
Looking back on his 25 years at
NPC Mr. Liljengren commented
that the biggest change he has
noticed is the growth of NI' bath
in the number of students and in
the area of school buildings. He
stated that the school is no longer
centered around one building but
finds its activity in many parts of
the campus. "The expansion is
good," he said, "but we've become
more anonymous as students and as

The Royal Rally leads off into an
endless winding snake which bursts
forth from the Gym, twisting and
turning on its way to the field.
Licking flames hungrily devour a
huge Cardinal in the bonfire. A
cheer rises up from the crowd, and
the noise becomes a continuous bat-tery
as the cheerleaders pull school
spirit out from every hiding place
on campus.
The Big Game
Saturday . .. The day for the big
game is finally here. The steady
buzzing of the crowd is interrupt ed
as the band erupts into the school
song the instant the Vikings flash
onto the field.
K.O. kisses the queen at half

faculty members on the traditional
Rhutan Scrutan cheer arid the game
goes on.
Saturday night . . . The click of
heels, a packed gym — yes, "Ties

makes her way down the aisle, spot-lights
and sighs of approval follow-ing
her. The program in her trib-ute
is, as usual, a success.

Faculty Focus
It was indeed an unfocused mo-ment
when I agreed to write "some-thing"
for this column, for it seems
to me that the assignment contains
a contradiction or at least an am-biguity.
Obviously the ideas or
opinions expressed are those of a
faculty member. They are so la-beled.
On the other hand, foot-notes
to a classroom lecture are not
wanted, nor a comment on the state
of North Park. But choosing a topic
outside of my specified competence
does not free me from the require-ments
of my role as a teacher and
social scientist. This is the diffi-culty.
Whatever I say cannot be
dissociated from the fact that what-ever
else I may be, I am here a
member of the faculty.
If I were to talk about my cats
(we have a rather strange and
strained menage a trout of them at
the moment), I would probably do
so in psuedo-psychological jargon
which would annoy the psychology
experts and might be taken seri-

discuss my interests in poetry or
print verse I have written, the poets
among us would writhe in embar-rassment
and anyone could see the
influence of social science on the
ideas expressed. Conversely, if I
commented on the coming election,
inevitably what I said would be
taken not as just the opinion of a
citizen but as the opinion of a poli-tical
scientist. In short, whatever
I said in this forum would be both
written and read in relation to my
professional role.
In thus exemplifying some. of the
difficulties my role as a faculty
member imposes on me, I do not
mean to imply that my freedom is
thus curtailed or that I am some-how
not a whole person. Such role
Verifications are obviously neces-sary
for the functioning of a com-plex,
multi-group society. But more
than that it is the multiplicity of
roles which each individual must
play which makes possible individ-ual
freedom and individual develop-ment.
The variety of roles availa-ble
to individuals gives them a free-dom
of choice and an opportunity
to develop many facets of their po-tential.
Further, moving from one
role to another, not only in the
course of one's life but in the course
of each day, requires a kind of con-stant
interaction within oneself
and maintains a tension which
stimulates both intellectual and
moral growth. And such growth
brings new vitality and dimension
to each role played and to each
group acted in.
In other words, I do not think
playing the role of a faculty mem-ber
puts me in a rut and condenses
me to speaking the same lines year
after year. But I think it does mean
that I must play the same role

my right to play that role. And
outside of that role, I would have
no lines to speak at all.
There is another side to this prob-lem

need more time to think — and that

NSA Calls for Freedom Fast
To Help Indigent Negroes
PHILADELPHIA (CPS) — The
United States National Student As-sociation
(USNSA ) is asking the
nation's collega students to skip one
meal next month in order to send
food to indigent Negroes in the
South.
The program, called Thanksgiv-ing
Fast For Freedom, calls for
students with prepaid meal con-tracts
to abstain voluntarily from
one dinner meal Nov. 19, the money
being to buy food. Student govern-ments
at individual schools are be-ing
asked to direct the drive on
their campuses.
$10,250 Raised
Last year, an estimated 17,000
students at 42 schools participated
in the fast. Some $10,250 was raised
and used to purchase more than
80,000 pounds of food at wholesale
prices.
Distributed by COFO
The food, mostly preserved meat
and dried milk, was distributed to
600 families by the Council of Fed-erated
Organizations (COFO),
which directed this summer's voter
registration drive in Mississippi.
Each family received a one-week
supply.
Noted Endorsements
The program, directed by NSA,
is jointly sponsored by the United
States Youth Council, NSA and the
Northern Student Movement. It has
been endorsed by Roy Wilkins,
executed secretary of the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People; James Farmer, Na-tional
Director of CORE, and John
Lewis of the Student Non-Violent
Co-ordinating Committee. It has
also been endorsed by Nobel Peace
Prize winner Martin Luther King.
Food to Mississippi
Last year food was shipped to
families in six Mississippi towns.
The fast's sponsors hope to expand
the program. Plans presently call
for shipping part of the food to the
McComb area, where a number of
Negro churches and businesses
were destroyed recently during a
p iriod of racial unrest.

MOC 1, Albert-Carmen Roll On;
Unbeaten in IM Competition
by Doug l'alm
Ire-season favorites, MOC 1 and Albert Carmen, continued unde-aated
in the face of all opposition (through Oct. 16), although both
,oked shaky on occasions.
MOC 1, the cream of the off-campus crop of "pros," rolled past two
previously unbeatens to raise their
record to 4-0. They overwhelmed
3 South, 38-13, and then employed
a fired-up defense" to down 2 South,
13-2. In this contest, MOC yielded
only two first downs, while their
offense moved sluggishly for two
scores. In Bruce Johnson and Rich
Blohm MOC has two of the league's
best receivers.
Turning into a defensive team,
Albert-Carmen added three wins to
their opening walk-away. MOC 4,
2 North and MOC 2 all succumbed
to the defending titlists, although
each margin of victory was nar-rower.
This in part can be attrib-uted
to the absence of Ted Hedin,
who really makes this aggregation
go. The big difference up front is
Clark Lindberg who anchors the
line both on offense and defense.
2 South (3-1) and 3 South (2-1)
are among the top contenders.
Hustle and determination are the
chief ingredients behind 2 South's
success, as they lack any real size
or speed. They rely primarily on
"Ralph" Garbini, a mysterious
quarterback who likes to roll out
and run. His chief passing target
has been "Grunt" Klockars.

Wesleyan Claims
Top Spot in CC!
by Doug l'alm
Another Goliath has met his
qual and succumbed! Every foot-all
season produces a game later
at be termed as "a surprise," or
,sore commonly "an upset." It usu-
.oly pits some lightly regarded or
neer-looked team against a sup-posedly
superior force enjoying
:ouch success and public acclaim.
In some instances, the opponents
are actually equal, except in pub-licity.
Such was the case in last
week's key CCI attraction between
high-flying Carthage and Illinois
Wesleyan.
Someone said, "security breeds
complacency." So secure was
Carthage after "toying" with three
opponents, that they were lured
nto the game with Wesleyan dulled

'Trig the air. Wesleyan, on the
her hand, was a good team teem-

Last Saturday, before their
amecoming crowd, the Titans of
esleyan dumped Carthage, 16-0,
nil foiled the so-called experts as

and record, they now con-trol
the league's "top spot."

Political Books Disputed
lioULDElt,Colo. (CPS) — Two
conservative student political or-ganizations
at the University of
Colorado were first denied and then
granted the right to sell political
information at a booth in the stu-dent
union.
Misunderstanding
The college's Dean of Men and
student union director said it was
a "misunderstanding" that had ori-ginally
led to a university official
stopping the school's Young Repub-lican
Club and Young Americans
for Freedom (YAF) chapter from
selling copies of None Dare Call
It Treason, and A Texan Looks at
Lyndon.
Bi-Partisanship
The sale on the books had origin-ally
been blocked on the grounds
that they were non-university pub-lications.
The Dean said, however,
that university-affiliated or spon-sored
groups would be permitted to
sell materials in the student union
if they got the approval of the
building's management, and pro-vided
the materials sold are related
to the program purposes of the
group. The president of the col-lege's
Young Republican Club said
he felt the sale of the materials was
within "the scope of the educational
aims of the university." The two
groups also offered their customers
a socialist newspaper, New Amer-ica,
to provide readers with both
sides.
Last year, members of the Young
Socialist Alliance. (YSA) were pre-vented
from selling copies of
Young Socialist and The Militant
on the campus on grounds that the
YSA was not a recognized student
group.
Party Features
Pizza and Cliff
by Mark Ahlstedt
Burgh Hall held its annual pizza
party and open house on Friday
night, Oct. 9. However old this
annual tradition may be, the faces
in the program were new to the
North Park campus as all the per-formers
were either transfer stu-dents
or freshmen.
The master of ceremonies was a
freshman comedian from Mankato,
Minn., Cliff Langness. Highlight-ing
the first half of the program
were two folksinging freshmen,
Linda Guinand and Pat Bateman.
The finale was a versatile quintet
named "Steve Berg and the
Burg Hall Ham-burg-era." This
talented group, made up of guitar-ists,
vocalists, comics and bongo
artists, included freshmen Steve
Berg, Terry Filebark and Ernie
Legasse; transfer student Rick
Swanson and foreign student Rick-ard
Bergstrom from Sweden.
Following the party the men's
residence halls were opened for in-spection.
MMC Opens to
Music Majors
The Musica Majian Club is an
organization established specifically
for music majors and minors.
Its objectives according to Presi-dent
Richard Johnson are: "to of-fer
music majors and minors an op-portunity
to have a more meaning-ful
relationship with each other and
with music; to be a service organi-zation
to the music department of
North Park College; and to offer
to the campus and surrounding com-munity
musical programs that show
the quality of North Park's mu-sicians
both in and not in the Col-lege
music department."
In addition to presiding officer
Richard Johnson, MMC is led by
Vice-president Lawrence Olson,
Secretary Maureen Olson and
Treasurer Alan McGarrity. Mr.
Wayne H. Balch and Dr. Lee Burs-wok'
St•I'Ve as its sponsors.
Membership in the club is open to
those students planning to major or
minor in music. Although fresh-men
cannot become members until
the winter term, they are invited
to participate in all MMC activities.
Visitors are welcome at general
meetings.
"MMC," explains Richard John-son,
"is both a service organization
and a social club. It's officers and
sponsors hope to combine these two
phases so as to give them members
the chance to receive a certain edu-cational
experience that they would
otherwise be unable to obtain."

Vikings Lose to Carroll Baba Key Man
In NP Defense bj Doug Palm
The height of frustration may have been reached last Saturday when
the North Park College football team actually beat themselves. The 27-6
loss at the hands of the Carroll Pioneers was not as decisive as one might
surmise. Miscues coupled with some disheartening "bad breaks" offset
an otherwise fair Viking performance.
Fumble Leads to Score
The road to their downfall started moments after the opening kick-off.
On its second play from
scrimmage, North Park fumbled
and Carroll recovered on the Viking
47-yard line. The hosts — playing
before their homecoming fans,
wasted no time in lighting up the
scoreboard. With near-perfect
blocking from the left side of its
line, Carroll sprang loose right
halfback Mike Gattie. The 5'9" jun-ior
obliged his teammates' work by
galloping to paydirt. The conver-sion
attempt was wide, but the
scoring was not over yet.
Field Goal Fails
Late in the quarter North Park
attempted to complete a drive with
a field goal from 30 yards out and
to the left. The ball never got be-yond
the line of scrimmage as the
middle defensive wall of Carroll
crashed through to block Ralph
Nordstrom's kick. Here North
Park's failure to fall on the loose
ball proved costly. Carroll alertly
recovered and proceeded to score
early in the second quarter on a 41-
yard pass from southpaw quarter-back
Scott Meyer to end Bill San-der.
Sander was successful on his
second attempt.
The half ended with drives by
both teams falling short and Carroll
leading 13-0.
Drive Stymied
The .third quarter was scoreless,
although North Park should have
dented the Carroll defense but
failed at the one-foot line on three
tries. Two drives and a sweep at-tempt
were unsuccessful. The Vi-kings
probably played their best
ball of the afternoon during this 15-
minute span.
Moving consistently to the out-side
and through the air for vital
yardage, Carroll boosted their lead
to 20 as sub Dave Isabel) swept left
for 40 yards and Sander converted
for his eighth point of the after-noon.
Pass for TD
The hitherto contained Vikings
finally broke the "goosegg" by us-ing
their most productive scoring
weapon to date, the pass. The
Rockne-Doriatt invention was em-ployed
at the Carroll 48-yard line
on a third down situation. Half-back
Ray Berens worked himself
free on Z-pattern and Tom Formel-ler
hit him in the 30-yard line.
Berens put it in gear and North
Park had six points. The conver-sion
attempt was off to the right.
Carroll Completes Scoring
An onside kick failed, but so did
the resulting Carroll drive. North
Park attempted to score again but

two "bombs" were incomplete. The
scoring was completed with less
than three minutes remaining as
Isabell was given a helping hand
from Meyer on a yard drive play.
Sander added the PAT which
capped a productive day.
Although the outcome of the
game was obvious, the excitement
of this hard-hitting affair was far
fron, over. Tempers flared when
North Park anticipating the snap
from center buzzed through the line
of scrimmage on the conversion at-tempt.
A questionable call from
the officials left North Park stifled,
as well as a man short.
Three Suffer Injuries
The thinning squad was dealt a
further blow when freshman quar-terback
Don Johnson suffered a
broken collarbone late in the first
half as he was carrying out a fake.
Lou Ellis aggravated his left knee
again, as Ted Bertsch did the same
to his right shoulder.
Looking at the contest on paper,
Carroll beat North Park, but not
as the score suggests. Of their 280
yards total offense, Carroll gained
179 yards rushing for seven first
downs. The rest came via the air
way (6 out of 17 for 101 yards).
The Norsemen moved the ball for
205 yards, of which 163 yards were
the result of its passing game. In
this department they were 11 for
34. Berens rushed six times for 25
yards and a 4.1 average.
Six Star on Defense
Defensively Tim Thyreen led all
tacklers with 13 tackles as he
played a tough "inside game" from
his linebacker post. Perhaps the
key man again was Bob Boba who
had 12 tackles and seemed to be
everywhere on defense. Ralph
Nordstrom played a stalwart game
with eight credited tackles and one
recovered fumble (Cap Matthews
got the second one.)
Yet, the most satisfying result of
this frustrating afternoon, was the
play of two freshman linemen,
Dave Forstrom and Jack Anderson.
These two rookies made a fine
showing in their first real taste of
college competition. Playing mostly
defense they were hitting well and
staying with the play.
Reasons for Weaknesses
But, since this was not a winning
effort, there must be a reason for
the shortcomings of the Vikings.
Weaknesses to a running game out-side,
as well as to an air game,
proved the undoing defensively,
but all the fault is not there.
Again the offense could not come up
Bob Boba
A familiar sight last Saturday
was a white-shirted 68 making tac-kles
all over the field. In fact it
seemed as if this North Park de-fender
had radar hidden on his per-son.
Actually this is just part of
the alertness and usual aggressive-ness
that mark the play of Bob
Boba.
For his stellar performance Boba
was selected as Viking of the Week
against Carroll. The 6'0", 200-
pound linebacker was credited with
12 individual tackles and assisted
on numerous others. Bob, who came
to North Park from Chicago's
Weber High, appears to thrive on
hitting hard and often!
In looking at his over-all play so
far, Boba could well be "on his
way" to repeating as an all-CCI
choice at linebacker, which he
copped last year as a sophomore.
A special mention should be made
of his mother, who as far as the
Vikings are concerned, is the fan of
the year. Congratulations to a dy-namic
duo!
with the big play, but this means
the whole offense. The afternoon
of frustrations will remain until a
united attack and defense can be
mounted.

Homecoming Victory
With all the hubbub of Home-coming
preparations and festivities
consuming time, space and inter-ests,
tomorrow's football game, the
focal point of any Homecoming,
seems to have been overlooked.
The game, the fifth of the cur-rent
Viking campaign, will be a
must for North Park, as they seek
their first taste of victory. North
Central will be gunning to extend
their victory skein which they be-gan
last week (33-20 over Millikin.)
After an opening victory over
Olivet, the Cardinals of Naperville
ran into the old injury jinx which
has been the rage of the CCI.
Among the top casualties were
halfback Bob Walters, a real break-away
threat, and quarterback Mike
Vibral, who played but at half
speed. However, after last week's
impressive victory, optimism has
arisen and the Cardinals are be-ginning
to fly high.
Anticipating the return of Cap-tain
Ted Nordlund to action, North
Park hopes to plug up the gaping
hole left by Paul Heinze, lost to the
team due to personal circumstances.
Nordlund has been absent from the
Viking lineup since Concordia
(Sept. 26), although his ailment
never has been definitely pin-pointed.
Replacing Heinze at the
left tackle slot for the second week
will be rookie Bill Crosscup, the
6'2", 193-pounder from Nashua
N.H., who will be backed up by
junior Dave Trautman. Bill
Walker will continue at guard if
Nordlund is held out again.
The Vikings are overdo for a
solid performance, which means
consistency. Throughout the sea-son
so far, North Park has dis-played
the ability to move the ball
and contain the opponent, but never
for any sustained time. The visi-tors,
who prevailed last year (26-6)
and two years ago at the '62 Home-coming
(7-6) will not be leady to
play dead, now that they know they
can win. Their record at present
is 2-2-0.
Although both offenses have been
sporadic, look for a fairly free-scoring
game. Then again, you
never know what will happen. Look
at the Yankees.
This is the probable lineup for
the Vikings:
80 — Pete Pearson — RE
60— Bill Crosscup — RT
78— Ted Nordlund — RG
55 — Mike Watson — C
68— Bob Boba — LG
76 — Al Burns — LT
82— Ralph Nordstrom — LE
